Step 7 Language points

1. married a French scientist called Pierre Curie in 1895

marry意为“嫁；娶；与……结婚”。

marry作不及物动词，意为“结婚” ，如：

She didn’t marry until she was over fifty. 她直到过了五十岁才结婚。

marry作及物动词，表示“与……结婚”，此时marry后直接跟宾语，如：

Joe is going to marry Jane.

乔将要和简结婚。

marry是短暂性动词，当它与表示时间    段的状语连用时，常用be married表示已婚状态。例如：

They’ve been married for eight years.

他们结婚已经有八年了。

2. died in 1934, aged 67     

aged adj.  常作表语，后跟数字

e.g. 她有两个孩子，年龄分别是11岁和14岁。

She has two children, aged eleven and fourteen.

aged adj. 作定语，“年老的”

e.g. 他有一位上了年纪的父亲。

    He has an aged father.

3. It was brave of him to go to a place that was unknown to humans at that time.

从句that was unknown to humans at that time 作定语，修饰place。

4. She also pushed for the use of X-ray machines, which are now widely used in hospitals.

从句 which are now widely used in hospitals 作定语，是非限制性定语从句，对主句中的 X-ray machines 起补充说明的作用。
